Meet Ashley Lewis
Current title/school? Freshman biology teacher at Belton High School
What inspires you to work in Belton ISD? Belton ISD is built on community, family and traditions that go way back. It is amazing to work where students have such great opportunities to grow and to be a part of such an outstanding staff.
Tell us a fun fact about yourself. I tend to be a little goofy and love basketball. My husband would tell you that I play street ball rules.
What was a pivotal moment in your career? I used to be a head basketball coach. This was a huge influence in my career for two reasons. 1) It truly inspired me to push myself in the classroom and to continue to improve upon my abilities in the classroom. If I could excel on the court, I learned to feel as though I should do even better in my classroom. 2) I had multiple students during my last two years of coaching who chose careers because they developed a love of science in my class. What an awesome thing!!
Academics? Bachelor of Science in neurobiology from the University of Texas, Master of Education in curriculum and instruction from the University of Texas at Arlington; currently working on an administrative certification through UT-Arlington.
